Seeking a gaming group
Hey hey! 31M player here, really been getting into D&D over the past few months, currently playing in a 5.5e campaign but with each session being every 4-8 weeks it really isn't scratching that itch (I can also adjust to 5e!) Currently based around Wigan&Leigh area, but can drive out to the city centre or other places within reason - ideally looking to form/join a group and start on a campaign with people that can play a bit more frequently

Seeking a book club
Hi, I'm 26, living in Salford. I've recently gotten back into reading more mindfully; now I can't seem to stop, nor do I want to. I enjoy contemporary literary fiction and narrative non-fiction, and I'm looking for inspiration; I have an idea for an auddiodrama that I'd like to populate with words and personalities and characters,

Hi! I'm 29F and looking for a D&D group around Didsbury (or close-ish). I've played TTRPGs for over 5 years (mostly D&D 3e, some 5e, and similar games) and would love to get back to playing in person with a regular group.

Jason
Gaming group
25 Year old event manager working in Manchester after moving back to the city from Liverpool. I used to be a professional dungeon master in Altrincham but I want to rediscover my passion for the actual game. I'm working on a side project creating an RPG type of event and I realised that I haven't actually played any games in a while. I am looking to run a game of bastion land (similar vibe to DND) or failing that just plain old DnD (maybe steam punk vibe ?). I have a partner who is very new to the game so I'm not planning anything hard core and I'm super open to teach new players. I am hoping to run the games either in the city centre or in Hulme area, the kicker is that i becuase i work in events i am really hoping for a Monday or Tuesday evening game (maybe bi weekly).

Seeking a gaming group
Hi. I was raised with AD&D Second Edition, and have some experience both playing and DMing a small group of this. I am keen to try and learn modern Dungeons & Dragons, being happy to join a group, even with an in progress campaign, as long as people are willing to be encouraging and supportive. I do not have experience of or access to models and figurines, but I do have a healthy imagination. Have dice, will travel! (Within reason.)

Seeking a book club
Hi! I have recently moved to South Manchester and I’m looking for a weekly/fortnightly book group to meet some new friends. I read a big range of genres and I particularly love 20th and 21st century fiction. Favourite authors at the moment are probably Kazuo Ishiguro, Margaret Atwood, Angela Carter etc but I’m open to whatever!

Seeking a gaming group
(22, based in Manchester) I have always wanted to get into D&D but don't have anyone to play it with in my personal life, found this website and thought why not, let's give it a go and see if I can meet people to play with. I have no actual experience playing but I'm a quick study and willing to put In research. Anyway, thanks for reading.

Seeking a gaming group
I've played DnD but I am open to new experiences. I prefer more narrative and creative games to crunchy but I like a bit of both. I've built some one shots based off my stories so would like to DM eventually but for now I'm just looking for a nice group.

Sly
Seeking a gaming group
Hi everyone! I’m a 30-year-old player looking to join a long-term campaign. I’ve played a few one-shots and have DMed twice, so I understand the basics but am still fairly fresh. What I'm looking for: Setting: Standard, classic high-fantasy (no sci-fi or heavy tech, please).Role: Primarily looking to join as a player. Alternative DMing: I am totally open to stepping behind the screen and DMing, but my style is highly spontaneous and heavy on improvisation. If you prefer low-prep, "theater of the mind," and reactive storytelling over rigid, over-prepared modules, we might be a great match! Note: Just a heads up—I'm not great with character accents, so expect my normal voice whether I'm playing or DMing!
